Purple Wraath Ver3 log by JD

what it is holmies, the log name says it all. I'm JD and I will be logging the newest batch (April 07) of Purple Wraath -- ver3.

A little background about myself before we get into specifics.

Name: J$
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 6"/6"1'
Weight: Aprx. 225

Experience: In HS I lifted all 4 years for sports (baseball and football) I was the fatass kid than lost alot of weight during summer workouts senior year for football and was ripped and strong. since then I've lifted 4 years in college just to maintain basically. i got fat again off the booze and campus food, than jr/sr years ive been more into bodybuilding nutrition and training. this year (senior year) has been difficult due to im so g'dam busy, i want to party a lil and enjoy my last year, and im broke as can be so the diet isnt that solid (sadly).

supplement history: its a big long list, and covers a wide range/variety of supplements. I've never used anabolics nor do I desire too.

Other drugs : I may drink more than I normally due since I graduate in a month. hopefully it will be in moderation. I frequently smoke marihuana, but can avoid the munchies through the employment of an intense psychological training I did to myself.

water intake: I don't know, it's all I drink unless I'm feeling 'frisky' (or turkey hill has 3 for 5$ teas, than i get 3 gallons of diet green tea )

will try to post measurements/pictures early next week. need to score a digi camera and measurement tape thing (think i have them all at home not school)

I look forward to logging my experiences for you all. peace up, A town down.

Initial experience: got tub yesterday and opened it to premake my shake for today. I licked my fingers after throwing 1.5 scoops into a shaker and was amazed at the taste of the powder. its def alot smoother and better than the orginal mixture (ver1). the stuff looks smaller and less dense as well, which means it prolly mixes easier.

Today was actually my first day using PW .
as i said above I used about 1.5 scoops. It mixed shockingly easiley, and looked puretty in my true protein shaker. I believe I used too much water ( about 3/4 the shaker) but it still tasted great and was a pleasure to drink during my workout. I felt good energy all workout and it carried with me for along time afterward. The flush you get was also very strong. almost overwhelming. it hit hard when i finished lifting, and persistented for awhile afterward. it was intense, like a full body itch. I def dont remember the orginal version every providing as intense a flush as this experience.

stomach felt kind of weird pre/during lift. i may of been dehydrated, even tho i drank like 75oz-ish between the green bulge and PW drink.

i was fine by the end of the lift. the tingling wasnt nearly as bad, i felt it for maybe 5-10 mins after lifting. its def better to have that kick in while you workout.
energy has been sustained throughout day.

lift:

Bench 15x135, 12x185, 10x205, 10x225, 6x225, 10x185, 15x135

DB hammer curls - 4x10x50pd

pec deck - 3x10x135 -- each time used a variation of hand placement/angle
forearm wrist things - 3x10x10pd a hand (spun them around for like 45secs each time)

underhand reverse cable curls (triceps) - 10x135,155,165,165

DB flies - 10x45,50,50

was a good lift to get back with after easter break. i wore full sweat attire and a beanie, so i was working really hard. it was pretty intense and at times i was like wow this is great.

been feelin pretty swole since, and i think i look big in the shirt i chose to wear today. boo-ya. day3 tomorrow.

I was shocked this stuff mixed up so well, i cleaned my bottle out last night before i went to my gfs house for the night and didnt try it perfectly, so some of the powder sat in the wqater and clumped up. i added water about 90 minutes preworkout to the shaker and it sat thro my class, than i drank it on the way to the gym. it was mixed perfectly. which was awsome.

intense lift. just wore a sweatshirt and beanie with shorts today, no sweat pants. I was rockin out to Nelly - Grand hang out and some alumni football kid thats semi-pro and still works out at school walked by, musta heard it, and said something to me as i did back ext.. i didnt hear em and was focused on lifting so I just kept going. only had aprox. 60mins for the lift leaving 15min to shower and get to a meeting ...good times..

bout 15-25min late took 5 green bulge and made my PW drank. 2 scoops PW + 1.5 scoop bsl GO. this mix really has an awkward taste. but i drin kit anyways. mixed alot more water than needed. prolly like 75oz into the shaker bottle, so it lasted me the drive to the gym, and 3/4 of my workout.

stand cable reverse front raise (pull weight from face to waist, no lift DBs from waist to face) - 3x10@135,155,175
seated smith military with palms facing each other - 4x10@155,175 for last 3

was sporting sweat pants+shirt+beanie. with the mix i drank which had the bsl GO (small caffeine amnt) I was freaking going nuts. sweat was everywhere. and after some of the lifts i was like "wow, slow down son" it was awesome. i feel good and think im noticing more muscleness all around.

weather still sucks (freezing out again) so cardio is a struggle.. =(

i hate this, wheres my sunnn!

2 scoops ON whey post workout with a multi vitamin. white blood before sleep again unless I dirnk tonight. depends if i go visit my gfs parents for dinner or not; either way i'll be drinking tonight or tomorrow . im on a yuengling porter kick after i found it has 3 kinds of grains, and is their healthiest beer. and it fucks you up good! haha

thats all for now. peace up

o; PS. i was gonan take pics yesterday, but found out I lost my digital camera sometime.. so that blew. if i can get my hands on my gfs ill try to get some over the weekend.

im pretty sure i did more than this, but i cant remember it. i also think ilost my favorite hat somewhere this morning, between my 2 classes and the gym..its kinda gross if someone took it, cos it smelled very bad..

im going to work on getting pics , i swear. i havent taken any of myself in a long while so im curious to see how out of shape i am and how much progress i can make during this log.

overall impression thus far; very impressed. this version taste great, mixes well, and provides same reuslts i experienced in the past from PW.

starting the PW, GB, WB has really made me feel dramatic effects and results; hopefully their not placebo or anything.

was a quick intense lift. i was sore in the legs due to cardio with my girlfriend last night and this morning. rushed for time due to meetings/collecting research data so i had to squeeze it in early this mornign.

wor the full sweat attire, was exhausting. got a quiznos sub to eat in a few minutes, which is exciting except for the fact i have to sit in the lab all day and collect research data from kids .. 3rd day in a row doin this lol

calf raises on sled - 4x10x4plates a side
bridges - 4xas long as possible, forearms resting on a swiss ball
smith back ext - 4x10x100pd

i think i did more than this, but im not sure. lift lasted 50mins aprox. i felt horrible the whole, like i was gonna puke. was very tiring, but not pleasent. i felt good after when i went and got some food in my belly, but other than that it blew. its never good to feel bad on a leg day. =x

again i feel like there was more. .. my memory sucks, i need that yellow N haha.

sorry if i post that alot (about me forgetting my full workout).. i used to write it all down but than i stoped after awhile, and in all honesty i think its great if people can do that, but for me personally i feel like I lose intensity when i write it down. gotta take that time to stop in between sets, occasionaly you get lazy and sit down to do it.. i'd rather be walking around the gym between sets, downing some water and focusing for the next task to conquer.

got sick last night from the girlfriend.. felt a lil better this morning, and by noon i was feeling good.. so i figured id try the gym and see if i could put in some work. got there and i was just weak, out of it, and unfocused. poor lifts, poor weights, poor workout all around.

hopefully i can kick this soon. 2 weeks left in campus gym, then i duno where ill be lifting as classes end. may have to pay to join a gym for the summer.
holler

felt good. got a fresh haircut righ tbefore. all i wore was shorts and a short sleeve shirt, but i sweated a ton... think today is the warmest its been all year, and the field houses basement (wher ethe weights are) is horribly vented/aired... theres 1 door in the corner they prop open. lol

supp usage/timing was as normal.

been feelin a great pump in my arms all week, even tho ive been sick (i was coughing up blood/snot for a day or two, it sucked). im healthy now tho

def. i just found a full sample pack of anabolic innovations protein line and amino acid line. thats exciting. i get to drink some weird flavors sometime soon!

next week liftings gonna be rough.

monday - intenrship all day
tuesday - final at 8am than im good. got a family dinner then im driving to philly after.
wends - interviews @ Temple from 830am til 3pm. then i gotta stop in at my profs house for our last class/dinner party on the way back to school.
thursday - job training all day
friday - job training all day
saturday - graduation!

im excitied for it all tho, and once the weekends over ill be able to start movign my gear into my girlfriends new apt. for the summer , that should be very enjoyable. haha

got in the gym today.. may be the last time for a little bit.. super busy from now til saturday. and then I duno what will happen once I graduate and all. I'm pretty sure our campus gym has beat hours over the summer, so i'll have to find a place to lift in town. im prolly going to the beach for a few days next week (16-20) to celebrate graduation alone with the womans relaxing by the water...

anytways it was an okay lift.. it was hard to focus knowing it was prolly the last time ill lift in the gym i have been for 4 years! i cleaned my locker out afterward and was sad to walk out =(

i think graduation is finally hitting me.. took my last final today..wont be on campus again til i get the fake piece of paper and a random handshake after sitting around for 3+ hours in an ugly robe with a weird hat.

the split up was real weird.. i did 2 of 1 than 2 of the next lift and came back to to the final set of the previous lift than did 2 of the next lift and came back to do the final set of the previous unfinished lift... if that makes any sense congratulations!

driving to philly tonight to crash at a buddies house, than interviews @ Temple for grad assistantships all day tomorrow..whoopie!

illupdate a midway type review during my lil break from the gym when i have spare time.
